EditShare will present at NAB its new portfolio of turnkey solutions for large post-production facilities, integrated around Lightworks and the playout servers of the Geevs family.
Lightworks was one of the platforms that started the revolution of non-linear editing in the early 90s, and despite having an important base of especially enthusiastic users its presence in the market has been fickle, although in some markets it is possible to find today Thirteen or fifteen year old Lightworks stations doing editing. on offline.
EditShare acquired the product in mid-2009, and after a significant effort has managed to integrate the elegant LightWorks interface into workflows based on its collaborative storage and post-production solutions.
Xstream and Ark provide extremely secure online and near-online storage services that can serve workstations from any vendor and can eventually be upgraded 'hot'.
Flow is a collaboration solution that allows you to carry out logging and thick cutting work on satellite stations, manage large volumes of material and handle complex material ingest flows, and most importantly: it makes it possible to use the same media files on Avid stations or in Final Cut Pro, also allowing the "hot" exchange of edited sequences.
Flow's ingestion model is based on a middleware system developed by EditShare known as Universal Media File Technology, which allows you to capture or transfer the material on dedicated stations and make it available so that any editing system can use it immediately, without transcoding or previous conversions. Flow also allows the management of material backup and restoration processes from any station connected to the network, facilitates the management of extensive networks and supports the periodic or occasional synchronization of remote stations, an interesting resource for news applications.
One of the most attractive factors of EditShare's offering is its licensing model, which does not require additional payments when adding new jobs.
